The Blackbirds were led by Barbados player Shonica Wharton with a game-high 52 goals from 58 attempts.Â
Best Shooter in the recent test series against Jamaica, Sheniqua Thomas, contributed 13 from 16, while Rieah Holder took the goal attack bib in the final quarter to sink two of five for the Blackbirds. (KB)
